And a part of this, okay, we want to make sure proprietary.

Information about the data center and the type of technology being used is protected.

But at the same time, it creates a lack of transparency, right?

You as a legislator, as a county official, as a mayor, you represent the people, not the industry.

But with these NDAs and lack of transparency, we're violating the right of representative justice to make sure the company's voice is heard in decision making.

So this all connects back to civil rights.

This all connects to the rights of the people.

This all connects back to how a democracy is supposed to work.

And it's undemocratic if you have a lack of transparency and decisions being made by those who will be most impacted decisions, have no idea what's happening.

Then all of a sudden, there's a new data center that's been built in their neighborhood and they had no voice in the process.

I was part of a team that helped to write the People's Report.

So the People's Report was developed in response to the task force report, the accounting task force report on data science.

So in that task force report,

they made its data center sound like they'll be great.

And part of the playbook is when we think about any type of industrial development, they always lead with, there's going to be so many jobs produced, right?

And I say it's economic development.

I always say capitalize the C-O-N in economic development.

It's a con job.

Because in most cases, when you think about the jobs, and we had a data center discussion, we actually had folks who

actually helped to build hyperscale data centers who were talking.
